Where a pro se plaintiff has accused the defendants, his wife’s nieces and nephews, of intentional infliction of emotional distress, the defendants’ actions were not extreme and outrageous and consequently the complaint must be dismissed.

Where the son of a landlord unlawfully entered an apartment and stole from the tenants $2,400 in cash, credit cards, checkbooks, jewelry, guns and other personal property, the landlord cannot be held liable to the tenants for negligence or breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment.

Where a judge denied a defendant’s motion to vacate a default judgment, the judge committed no abuse of his discretion in light of the defendant’s failure to show excusable neglect and the dismissal will be affirmed.

Where a tenant’s 16-year-old son was found with drugs and a loaded handgun within half a mile of the public housing authority property in which he and the tenant resided, the housing authority is entitled to a judgment of summary process under §IX(F) of the relevant lease and under the state public housing law, G.L.c. 121B, §32.

Where an attorney brought suit claiming to be owed legal fees, a directed verdict for the defendants was properly entered on the ground that the plaintiff never entered into a contract with the defendants.

Where plaintiffs have appealed a zoning board ruling upheld by a Superior Court judge requiring them to cease and desist from operating a dance studio in a barn on their property in a Rutland residence district, we hold that the Superior Court judgment must be vacated and a remand ordered because of a standing issue.
